  • The best Irish podcast

    This is the best podcast of the week for me, hands down. It’s raw, it’s honest, it’s the brutal reality of a week in business for the presenters. It calls out a lot of what you just will not see in the mainstream media, except Gript. The guests are fantastic, it’s great to hear especially when Declan returns for an episode.

    Well done, make a subscription option available for those that are able to support financially to help your work keep going, but also a free option for those that are unable... more

  • This podcast is a work of fiction, stories are completely made up, exaggerated or not fact-checked in the slightest. The hosts say whatever they want with no level of background research except "I saw a post on Facebook", therefore it must be true.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is All Hope Lost? Guest Host: Ivan Yates
Q: You get six months carte blanche, a bit like Trump. You can do what you want, say what you want and be the Taoiseach of Ireland. Where do you start and what do you change?
Yates says he would focus on one or two priorities, starting with competitiveness and fixing the planning system. He argues that Ireland must build housing, electricity, water and transport infrastructure, even when local objections stand in the way.
Is All Hope Lost? Guest Host: Ivan Yates
Q: Is the social welfare system in Ireland in its current state sustainable?
Yates says it is not sustainable, citing the projected growth in pensioners and the broader increase in public spending. He argues that large permanent expenditure commitments are being financed by unreliable corporation tax revenues.
Why is Ireland So Woke?
Q: Is the media turning around and saying, we just got 20 million less there for OARTE, we can see the whole government is in a bit of a crisis. Maybe it's time to start pandering to the public?
Redmond says he is cynical about the media's independence because he believes media organisations rely on government funding, and calls for crime statistics that identify offenders' country of origin.
Why is Ireland So Woke?
Q: Behind the scenes in Fine Gael, are they turning around and going, we're in crisis mode here, lads? We need a plan B. If Simon gets ousted, who are we pushing up to the forefront and the leader of the party?
Redmond says the proposed centre-right motion is a signal to the party base, not evidence of a genuine shift, and argues that changing the party's direction would require transformative change from within.
Constitutional Coup in Poland?
Q: Where do you think this is going to go? How is it going to end?
Meitz worries the government may further alter the political system and undermine confidence in future elections. Styczynski agrees and raises concerns about domestic instability, external pressure from Russia and the security of NATO's eastern flank.
